RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
64B5-2.0146: Licensure Requirements for Applicants from Non-Accredited Schools or Colleges

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Board proposes the rule amendment to incorporate by reference form DH-MQA 1254 and form DH-MQA 1182, and to make additions and deletions to implement the American Dental Licensing Examination required by Chapter 2011-95, Section 9, Laws of Florida (2011).

SUMMARY: The proposed changes will implement session law Chapter 2011-95, Laws of Florida (2011).

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COST AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

During discussion of the economic impact of this rule at its Board meeting, the Board, based upon the expertise and experience of its members, determined that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost (SERC) was not necessary and that these rule amendments will not require ratification by the Legislature. No person or interested party submitted additional information regarding the economic impact at that time. The Board has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business, or likely increase regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within 1 year after implementation of the rule.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding the statement of estimated costs, or to provide a proposal for a lower regulatory cost alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: 466.004, 466.006(3) FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 466.006 FS.

IF REQUESTED WITHIN 21 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE, A HEARING WILL BE SCHEDULED AND ANNOUNCED IN THE FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE WEEKLY.

THE PERSON TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THE PROPOSED RULE IS: Susan Foster, Executive Director, Board of Dentistry, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C08, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3258
